Preferred embodiment of the invention

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

As shown in Figure 1, the logical entities of the method include a multiplexer, a broadcast transmitting station, and a mobile user terminal (UE), etc.

Multiplexer: Acquire ESG, and other audio and video data, multiplex ESG related data into the logical channel, and hand it to the broadcast transmitting station to modulate the transmission.

Broadcast Transmitter: Modulates the data after transmission multiplexing.

Mobile user terminal UE: Includes mobile communication devices such as mobile phones. It can receive data transmitted by the broadcast network channel, such as ESG information, and cache, update, query, and display the ESG.

Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting The ESG transmission method includes the following steps:

(1) the multiplexer receives the ESG information;

(2) The multiplexer multiplexes the ESG information into a specified multiplex frame, where the multiplex frame may be a multiplex frame carrying control information or a multiplex frame carrying service information;

(3) the multiplexer transmits the multiplex frame to the broadcast transmitting station;

(4) The broadcast transmitting station transmits the multiplexed frame modulation to the mobile user terminal.

The mobile user terminal receives data transmitted by the broadcast transmitting station and performs demodulation, and the user can use the terminal to acquire and display ESG information, and discover and use the service.

The above-mentioned multiplexed ESG information includes ESG data and an ESG basic description table, and the ESG data in the text includes data in an electronic service guide XML format. Data instance package represented by these data elements Comprising: records of business tables, business extension information tables, content tables, business parameter tables, and schedules, but the present invention is not limited to this format.

The multiplexing system of the present invention adopts a frequency-based, time-division multiplexing method.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of multiplexed frames constitute a broadcast channel frame, and the multiplexed frame is composed of a multiplexed frame header, a multiplexed payload, and a padding portion.

For example, it is determined that 1 second is the multiplexing period, divided into 40 time periods (time slots), and the multiplexing unit is 25 ms. The logical multiplexing frame and time slot mapping is determined by the system configuration.

A multiplex frame corresponds to a control or service logical channel, and each multiplex frame is assigned a multiplex frame identifier MF_ID, MF_ID ranges from 0 to 39, and the maximum is 39, wherein MF_ID ==0 multiplexing The frame is mapped to the control logical channel.

There are two types of multiplexed frames: (1) multiplexed frames with MF_ID == 0 for transmitting system control information; (2) multiplexed frames with MFJD != 0 for transmitting service information. The structure will be described in detail below.

MF-ID != 0 The multiplexed payload of the multiplexed frame is generally composed of multiplexed subframes of multiple data, and the multiplexed subframes have different uses, such as different TV channels, configuration control information, ESG information, etc. transmission. The number of multiplexed subframes is 1 to 15. Such a multiplex subframe includes a sub-frame header, a video segment, an audio segment, and a data segment, and may also include only one or two of a video segment, an audio segment, and a data segment in one multiplex sub-frame, and may be used. The multiplex sub-frame header indicates whether an audio segment, a video segment, or a data segment is included in the multiplex subframe of the traffic channel.

From the multiplexing mode of the ESG information, when multiplexed into the multiplex frame carrying the service information, the multiplexed subframe may be used to transmit the ESG data, that is, there is no audio segment and video segment in the multiplex subframe. The data segment is only used for ESG data transmission. The audio and video data may also be transmitted together with the associated ESG information in a multiplexed subframe, that is, along with the path; or, both methods may be used simultaneously on different multiplex subframes.

As shown in FIG. 3, the data segment can accommodate a plurality of contents, including a data segment header and a plurality of data units, and the data unit number, the data unit parameter, and the CRC check code of the data are defined in the data segment header, where the data unit Parameters include a description of each data unit type and data unit length Said. Data unit parameters can also be placed in front of the corresponding data unit rather than in the data segment header. Here, a specific data type value is defined to identify that the data unit contains ESG data, which is also referred to as an ESG. Data unit.

Since the ESG data payload length of an ESG data unit is limited, the general system will set a maximum value, such as 64Kbytes. When an ESG data unit is not large enough to transmit ESG data, it needs to be segmented. The processed ESG data block is divided into different data sections as the ESG data payload of an ESG data unit, and transmitted using different ESG data units. For formatted data, if the section is transmitted during transmission, the UE will generally parse all the sections before summarizing. Furthermore, in order to improve transmission efficiency, ESG data can also be compressed and then transmitted.

The ESG data unit is encapsulated in a data segment. In this embodiment, the structure of the ESG type data unit is as shown in FIG. 4, and is composed of a data header, a data payload, and a CRC check code.

The data header consists of the following fields: data block identifier, ESG data type identifier, encoding type, section number, total number of sections, and so on. among them:

Data block identifier: Indicates the data block to which the ESG data payload belongs. Multiple ESG data blocks in the system (such as today's ESG as an ESG data block and ESG as an ESG data block at other times of the week) need to be distinguished by the data block identifier of the ESG header when rotating at the same time. Each data block can be obtained from a combination of ESG data of a plurality of ESG data types, such as combining various ESG data to be broadcast that day into one data block.

The ESG data type identifier is used to identify the type of the ESG data carried by the data payload. In this embodiment, the ESG data type refers to the ESG data table to which the data in the ESG data payload belongs. You can use the table identifier in the list as the ESG data type identifier here by defining a table identifier constant list. Together with the data block identification, it uniquely determines the data block to which a data section belongs.

Encoding Type: Indicates the compression encoding type used by the ESG data payload. A 3-bit field definition can be used, see Table 1. Coding type

Value (b2blb0) type 000 does not compress

001 GZIP compression

010 - 111 Reserved

The GZIP compression coding is compressed by the GZIP compression algorithm, see IETF RFC 195 ² . Section number: Indicates the section number of the current transmission data. That is, the ESG data payload is transmitted in the first data section of the associated ESG data block. The section number is a number for these data sections. The minimum value is 1, and the maximum value is the total number of data in the ESG header.

Total number of sections: Indicates the total number of sections carrying the currently transmitted data. That is to say, the ESG data is transmitted in the ESG data unit, and is divided into how many data segments are multiplexed and transmitted. That is, how many ESG data payloads are divided into ESG data payloads, and how many data units are used for transmission.

The byte length of the ESG data payload can be derived using the determined values such as the ESG data unit length and the ESG header length, namely: data unit length - (ESG header length + CRC length). The ESG header length and CRC length are set to a fixed value.

The multiplex frame of the multiplex frame header identifier MF_ID==0 is used to carry control information. As shown in FIG. 5, the multiplex frame payload in the multiplex frame includes a plurality of control information tables, each of which is multiplexed. The child is composed of a control information table. During transmission, due to the different application scenarios, real-time requirements, and amount of data of the ESG tables, the broadcast system has different transmission repetition rate (frequency) requirements for each table data. Therefore, the system generally generates ESG data in separate tables and schedules transmissions separately. In this way, multiple ESG table data are separated and transmitted using different ESG data units. The ESG information of a certain transmission is all or part of the data records in all or part of the types of tables. Data from the same type of ESG table is typically transmitted in one data unit, unless it is particularly large, requiring subsections.

In this embodiment, the multiplexed frame transmission is performed by multiplexing the ESG data into the service logical channel. In other embodiments of the present invention, the ESG data may be multiplexed into the multiplex frame carrying the control information according to the ESG basic description table. . The ESG information including the ESG data and the ESG basic description table are both multiplexed frame transmission using the control logical channel. The ESG basic description table is a control information table whose table data The configuration of the multiplex subframe in which the ESG data is transmitted is described, including the ESG service logical channel description, the number of ESG data types, the ESG data type parameters, and the ESG table parameters. FIG. 6 shows an unfolded structure of the ESG basic description table, which is different from the above-mentioned ESG data unit or multiplex subframe structure, and is directly written in the multiplex frame of MF_ID==0, one The data of the table is used as a special multiplex subframe, and is not encapsulated into the multiplex subframe and data unit structure of FIG. 2 to 4. The ESG service logical channel in the table refers to a service logical channel for transmitting ESG data, and the ESG service logical channel is mapped into one or more multiplex subframes of the 1~39# multiplex frame.
